OMG. Someone else noticed! I cannot stand that affectation! An0maly also does this. Words like “important” and “certain” also. Drives me nuts. It makes the person sound babyish and it’s hard to take them seriously.
My wife can't understand me half the time. The other half of the time, I'm forced to speak the King's English instead of using my native Michigan accent.
True based Michiganders don't have time to fuck around. They're trying to say the damn thing as quickly as possible and get on their way, which is where much of the sass shows up.
They are all thinking, "With a lake every 5 miles in this state on average, I'd rather be fishing than talking to your dumb ass."
Plan B: "Not to mention there's 20-30+ deer per square mile."
Note: Michigan and Indiana DNR doesn't bother tracking deer numbers anymore (i.e. completely unregulated deer populations in both of those states). Texas averaged 15 deer per square mile which is good enough for 5th back in 2016.
Oof. If you were to put side by side someone from outer burough NYC and someone like her from the upper Midwest you’d see they aren’t even close. They’re both just... a little extreme.
Seemingly nobody under the age of 40 can pronounce the words; Mountain, Button, Carton, Threaten, etc.
I only knew a small handful of people when I was growing up, who had this issue....Now, it's 'Boomer' & weird if you don't sound like a retard while attempting to use these words.
👊 You get it. Thank you. I am one of those people who is very tuned into sounds and specifically voices. Vocal fry like Blasey-Ford and other lazy and affected vocal bad habits just grate on my ears. Also when people end every sentence as a question? Like they are not really sure about what they’re saying? And they need you to validate and affirm their every thought? 😂
I'm a tiny bit over 40 and from Michigan. It might be a Michigan thing. I do not say the 't' in any of those words. But until till today, I never really thought about it.
That's from dumb people hearing smart people say it a lot and then using it incorrectly. Unfortunately it became so frequently misused that the improper use is now accepted in common speech.
I guess it could be for some people, but in my experience I’ve seen this more as an affectation like a vocal fry, a vocal bad habit that goes along with a type of persona.

It’s the Michigan accent. Hard T’s get lost in the nasal passages.

Come hunt in NJ. They have 120+ deer per square mile, if you can believe it.
That's a lot of deer.
I never got into hunting, but with that many deer I would feel like I would have to.
it’s more Canadian, but similar.
We tend to harden certain vowels, like “a” and omit consonants in our nose.
“Car” comes out more like “care”

sounds valleygirley
mixed with ebonix
black people say it like "threh unned"
She’s definitely dialing up the valley girl with the inflection.
Baby talking women can't be taken seriously.

I concur.

I don't get it.

Dude, I heard that just like you meant it.
I agree. I don't notice the 'Vocal Fry' as much as the others you mentioned.
Everything else does drive me up the wall as well.

Thanks.
It's not necessarily the hard 'T' we are talking about... it's the weird, halting , almost two separate words.
e.g. Button = Buh - En.
Ah, okay. I don't think I say them as two words, just don't pronounce the t. More like, 'buh'n,' 'moun'n.' With a hard stop where the t should be.
I'm over thinking this now. Gah!
I hate it when people say “begs the question” when they mean “raises the question”
I hate when people say "you know what I mean"... It's the new "like"
I hate when people say "c'mon man!"
I hate when people say “I’ve got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun”
i hate it when people sell out their country while smoking crack and fucking underage chinese prostitutes
I hate one person specifically that says that... a lot.
I hate it when people end a sentence with “right?”.
Right?
I caught myself doing this a couple years ago and stopped
I...know what you mean :D
Thank you!!!
I’d say 99% of the population incorrectly use “begging the question.”
Still, that doesn’t bug me as much as “processeeez.”
That's from dumb people hearing smart people say it a lot and then using it incorrectly. Unfortunately it became so frequently misused that the improper use is now accepted in common speech.
Like when people say “comprised of” when they mean “comprising” or “composed of”
Isn't this more of a speech impediment than anything?
